By this piece of story how much do you think the authress is in BDSM?[size=9][quote]SCENE 17 - MARKETPLACE, PALACE DISTRICT, ALDEBARAN[/size]Jenny and Felicia are out for a day of shopping while Jenny is still recovering from her illness. Its cure has thus far alluded the Healers at the Royal Palace.Everything seems like a normal day: sun shining brilliantly, females of all walks of life out shopping, walking, and talking. As Felicia stops to admire some jewelry, Jenny's attention drifts to the adjacent stall. Meanwhile, Felicia's voice can be heard softly, just above the background noise.The voice of a FEMALE rises above the din of the crowd and Felicia's voice. The female holds onto a delicate silver chain to which a male is attached by a collar. She is looking at some translucent silks.FEMALEI don't know. Do you think it will bring out his eyes?(gives the chain a tug)Come here, pet, let me see your eyes.The male, subservient and demure, moves closer and lifts his chin, letting the female look into his face. He wears very little: a belt, a collar, wrist cuffs, sandals, and a loincloth. Jenny frowns lightly at the sight. She watches the two, as the owner holds the cloth up against the male's cheek, leaning back a bit to study the comparison. Jenny's tail tip flicks once as she tries to look away, only to find herself slightly disturbed when the male's owner pats him on the head and turns back to her shopping.Jenny blinks, gasping faintly as, when the male's gaze lowers and he steps back to return to his crouching place at the female's side, she notices his eyes settle on her for a heartbeat. They are hollow, faintly unintelligent, and almost mindless. Her field of vision changes slightly, as the male's mindless glance reminds her of the completely mindless and brokenhearted stares of mammals caught in toad enslavement camps.Jenny has to swallow, and she fights back the urge to reach for the blaster that is not on her hip and charge the toad slaver her eyes make the female owner out to be.FELICIA(turns to face Jenny, holding a necklace to her throat)... don't you think, Master Jen ...(blinks as she sees Jenny appear shaken, tail droops in concern)Master Jenny?JENNY(tears her gaze away and settles on Felicia)What? I'm sorry. What were you saying?FELICIA(lowering necklace, frowning worriedly at Jenny)What's wrong, Master?(suddenly concerned as Jenny shakes head and coughs)Oh, no! You're sick again! Let's go home, OK?Jenny can't really argue. Feeling sick, but less from these flu-like symptoms and more from the odd sensation of seeing a toad's face superimposed over that of a member of her own race, she just nods, and the two head for the palace.[/quote]

Whle I can see the hints of BDSM in it I see it much more a scifi type romance novel.Just because a person is holding another on a leash doesn't mean BDSM, it might be just a way to address the scifi, culture.Many of our stories can overlap and if one addresses only one of the areas, such as this could be a romance novel f the past or future. It doesn't go into detail about how the leash and such were applied. Or even if it is simply the first path of two people to a costume party.So I wouldn't group this totally as BDSM, I would say it has tendancies and that I want to read the rest of the story. cagedsgt

Yes, it is a furry science fiction novel.The entire story? Well! This is web series still running and done by many authors.Claudia Carranza is taking care of the aldebaran part, and I see frequently bondage details in her work I don't see frequently as well in the work of the other authors.http://bohweb.sitesled.com/webseries.htmHypercat38658.7569560185
